Climate: Civil disobedience
Three people explain why they take part in civil disobedience to fight climate change
Usually protests against climate change take the form of marches or protests but for some activists this is not enough. Host Nuala McGovern hears from three people in Malaysia, France and Germany about why they have taken their fears about the climate much further - from interrupting a fashion show to risking their lives.
For others, their concerns about the climate provoke emotional and mental challenges that are referred to as 鈥榗limate anxiety. Two UK-based activists explain how worrying about climate change is causing their daily lives to be affected by feelings of anger, fear and grief.
